They spent a decade complaining about safe spaces and then made a robot to give you compliments and tell you your mp3 of farting noises is Brian Eno

Can previous leaders who destroyed their reputations through folly and death please shut the fuck up and go quietly into the night?

apols for non-French speakers as this is honestly just untranslateable but what an excellent headline from Libe:

Winston looking after those he cares most about. What an arse.

We are a deeply unserious country

Israel is led by a cunt.

Shit. One to watch Aotearoa. With the Strait still closed, no Ceasefire actually ever happened and no tankers getting through, the last crude tankers are likely in port by now and that is it For NZ that is 47% of refined product in question if Korea goes NOPE

The War Memorial has disgraced itself throughout this saga, trashing its credibility by taking a partisan position in favour of Roberts-Smith. It has neglected its role in reminding people of the horrors of war, instead seeking to glorify the military and promote jingoistic nationalism. #auspol

I like this because it articulates the conservative concept of freedom in a nutshell. You have the freedom to do x, except you don't, because I don't want you to. bsky.app/profile/atru...

How many times will we have to keep quoting the direct words of the Trump-Vance team’s mediator? It is insane the low regard these people hold us in

Art of the deal: spend millions on bombing Iran and committing war crimes. Stop bombing and let them tax a shipping lane that was free before the bombings. So those children died for what exactly? Fucking incompetent cunts need to be concrete shoed into the Potomac.

Trump and the official White House rapid response account are saying that CNN is broadcasting a fraudulent statement by the Islamic Republic but it’s not. CNN is broadcasting an official regime statement that humiliates Trump. The statement is not fraudulent, it’s authentic.

Dear god

My dreams in which he's dying are the best I've ever had.

Altman should be pilloried by everyone he conned into giving him money. SoftBank should have a hit on him, if Masayoshi Son wasn’t himself an idiot.

Thinking about how Just Stop Oil and similar groups have been treated like terrorists, meanwhile the US and Israeli military are currently doing the Most Stopping Of Oil ever conducted.

The first national poll putting @greenparty.org.uk in first place (just) is an utterly extraordinary moment in British politics.

It’s fair game to just call Republicans stupid morons who should not be listened to ever again. But to be fair let’s just give them a 20 year timeout.

That AI slop propaganda Lego music video that Iran put out is bizarrely good.

Last night was the night that Donald Trump truly became president forever.

hmm

The Ōtaki-Levin highway was killing a lot of people at 100kmh. After Ardern Govt cut speed to 80kmh, the dying stopped. Then Luxon Govt increased the speed limit on the highway for culture war reasons. And people starting dying again. www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...

A solid encapsulation of the moment by @jollyjack.bsky.social

woof.

We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to elect a 34 times convicted felon and pedophile as President.

No, fuck you. You don’t get to suddenly decide that copyright matters when folks suddenly have access to the source code of your spicy autocomplete due to your own incompetence.

Weak sauce it may have been, but compared to NZ it was visionary.

Hey did everyone see Clavicular get his ass beat after he challenged a cancer survivor leftist to a jujitsu match, who said as he was choking him out ‘this is for all the bullshit I gotta watch on my fucking feed’… we need more of this not more podcasts

Australians on here going: Ees that fucken eet mate?? NZers sobbing like: OH FOR A SINGLE DROP OF SUCH REASSURING LEADERSHIP

Fucking furious that we have such a paralysed, useless bunch of wankers pretending to be in charge #nzpol

Albanese is also addressing Australia tonight. I’ve scanned the horizon for our CEO but he’s disappeared into a winery.

BOOM! Greenpeace Aotearoa has won its greenwashing case against Fonterra. Fonterra — NZ’s biggest polluter — was found to have broken the law with misleading butter packaging falsely claiming its Anchor Butter was ‘100% New Zealand Grass-Fed’. www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/pre...

Yo why are both PMs of UK and Australia addressing their nations this evening 👀 where’s our CEO goddamnit

Democrats now have an open goal to promise death for the Trump administration.

Ive seen some incorrect dates floating around. So just an FYI, members due to renew have till the 30 June and should now have an email with instructions. New members need to sign up by 24 April to vote at the AGM. #InternetNZ

The PM believes he's penned a "column". It is, in fact, a random collection of bullet points, and some really bad, and banal ones at that. E.g., the opening one: "The war in the Middle East is impacting New Zealand." No shit Sherlock. www.times.co.nz/business/lux... #nzpol

Israel’s holocaust of Palestinians reached a horrific new low today. No different than trains heading to gas chambers. Shame on everyone silent about this.

They have been getting advice for a long time and studiously ignoring it. They are the wrong people for this crisis. Conservatives cannot conceive of innovation forward, only the preservation of a status already in the past.
